    A huge problem with Network Drives is that Finder can't search inside them for some reason. I also love how easy and integrated with Finder Dropbox is with things like generating a sharing link with the system's context menu. With the recent drama with Rick & Morty's author, though, I got really afraid of losing my data. Haven't found an alternative yet.

    I've been using Icedrive for a while now and I'm happy with it. I've uploaded my music collection from my PC to it, it's really quite fast and easy to use. The best thing about it is that you can upload entire folders, in any size, without compression!
    I tried the free version of pCloud and I like that too. They both have mobile apps as well-which weren't mentioned in the video-and I think they're very good too.
    Which one do you use to backup a music collection of hundreds of GB?

    I've been using pcloud's free version for over a year now to test the service and while I'm liking it more than Dropbox since it kind of integrates better with the ipad, the network drive connection has failed a couple of times. I'm considering using it as a storage for files I don't use frequently.

    I need some help, im new to all of this. What is really the key difference between cloud storage and cloud backup? I've read about it online but i still have doubts. Im still not sure which one is the one i need. I want to store my files (pictures and videos) i have tons of them. I want them secured and stored but with not too much complication, simple process is what works best for me since im not a big tech person. Please someone help me decide.

    • @aubinpereira3216
      @aubinpereira3216 Год назад +3

      Cloud backup is exactly what you would have done over a decade ago, using an external HDD, now your HDD is online. You have all the copies of your work on your local drive, you just need an online backup in case of an HDD crash or virus or hacking attack.
      Cloud storage is more immediate. You want to store copies of your work online to access from anywhere so that you don't have to carry it on an external drive or thumb drive. You can also share the file and collaborate with people online and everything is stored and saved in real time.
      I think cloud backup is slower and cheaper while storage is faster and a bit more expensive. Most of the features overlap at times, it's the intent that differs. Hope that helps

    Watching this Video again after 1-2 Years due to the fact that I run out of the 1TB (lifetime) Storage from Icedrive that I purchased back than. I am very curious if pCloud is better in some points compared to Icedrive.

    I'm not sure yet but I think I'll beat IceDrive, considering it's so much newer, it still came a long way. So it do have high enough potential to even beat pcloud someday, of course that's just a guess so it may never happen. Even if it won't become the best cloud in general, as long as it becomes the best one-time payment cloud aka beat pcloud then that's good enough for me. And it convinces me even more when I see "consistent" Icedrive update videos, but not for pcloud (web says last update was 5 months ago), so if Icedrive release good update at a faster rate then that future might actually happen. It is a one time payment afterall, so I think it's wise to buy stuff with the future in mind, I really like the new portable update they added recently which pcloud doesn't have too for example. Lol XD

    I completely disagree with your assertion that OneDrive provides no security. I have been using OneDrive since before it was called SkyDrive - Yes, it even existed before DropBox under MSN Premium/MSN Explorer as far back as 1998. I pay ~$70 per year for MS365 which comes with 1 TB of storage. You can also opt for the Family plan which allows up to 6 members with 1TB each. I have the best 2FA encryption. Also, it allows you login with a device instead of a password. Considering its integration with Windows 11, I stress people to use it for easier management of their PCs. Unlike Google, your login email doesn't have to be a Microsoft provided email account. You can use Gmail, Apple or any other email address to create a Microsoft account.
